Seen with the eye of a mother and an animal-lover at the same time. :-)

I rather enjoyed this one. Been far too long since I've been out boot-scootin' myself.

Fine art photography at its finest. No idea why this one wasn't in the top ten.

Knew this would blue. Congrats! Now you've expertly ruined it for anyone who might have thought to do this for photo-within-a-photo this week... :-P

Seriously. This is awesome work.

One of my top two picks. This has such a well-composed, "found moment" feel. It instantly feels like the headshot a technical theater professor would use for their university profile. :-)

It's ironic that the camera gave you away even before your analog-adjacent processing choices. :-) I love the way this self-portrait feels EXACTLY like the sort of thing you might have had developed with a point-and-shoot film camera a couple decades ago. It captures that spirit of wonder and discovery and (intentionally or not?) feels like a meta-commentary on the state of the consumer-level photography generally.
